Rose Rayhaan by Rotana takes kids around the world

Rose Rayhaan by Rotana hotel in Dubai hosted an 'around the world in 1 day’ event for 50 children with special needs to celebrate Universal Children’s Day.

Children from Senses Residential and Day Care Centre for Special Needs, Al Noor Training Centre for Children with Special Needs and the SNF Children Development Centre attended the ‘Around the world’ event, which featured songs and national dance performances by the hotel staff.

The event also games, entertainers, clowns and face painting by Kamikaze Event Company, followed by a special lunch prepared by the chefs at the hotel.

Rose Rayhaan general manager Karim Nahas said: “We were extremely pleased to have this opportunity to host children and staff from the Senses, Al Noor and SNF Development centers. It gave us such a pleasure to see how children were enjoying their time, and could not just sit and watch but to join our colleagues to dance and sing together, it was truly great experience for both children and adults.”

“Universal Children’s Day is commemorated to promote international togetherness and awareness among children across the world. Being a multinational team with colleagues from more than 25 countries, we decided to take the children for a happy trip across the globe by showing them different countries, their traditions and culture, taking into account the fact that special needs children are not able to travel easily due to their physical, mental and emotional instability,” he added.

Senses Residential and Day Care Center for Special Needs executive manager Lina Oweis commented: “I would like to thank Rose Rayhaan by Rotana for such an amazing time and memorable trip, for the smiles you have put on their faces. I am sure they won’t forget this trip for very long time.”
